Detailed Commentary

i have used my Pasquini every day for over one year. i was quite pleased with it initially, with my only reservation being that i wish the water temp were slightly higher, and the it had yet greater boiler capacity/twin boilers.

but, as the year went on, i found that i had to take it apart over a dozen times.
